Leaked document leaves politicians red-faced over tasers for teachers idea


QUEENSLAND teachers would be given Taser stun guns to control unruly students under a leaked State Opposition draft policy.

In a move labelled "ridiculous" by parents, Opposition Leader John-Paul Langbroek's office proposed handing teachers the 50,000 volt electro-shock weapons for protection against rising school violence.

A spokesman for Mr Langbroek yesterday admitted the stun gun idea - presented the same as other Opposition policy formulation documents - was created in the Liberal National Party's parliamentary offices.

Yes, that's true. There are a lot of elderly people there. Not that
there's anything wrong with that, but it causes the politics to sway
in their favour. Also, a lot of the elderly people in Victoria or New South
Wales go there for holidays.
I'll never understand the attraction of a beach which has skyscrapers behind it.
Oh well, each to his own, I guess.
